icarusCross your fingers. I get the final word on that possible 'Good News' in RL at 1:30 today.
Tomorrow morning I have a date with the writing of the next chapter of 'Beg Me For It', SNAFU.
(Please let it go well, please let it go well, someone just gave me a review that they loved 'Hey You' but the time between updates is killing them. *whimpers* It's not a WiP! Other than 'Hey You', these are complete stories in their own right. I will never, ever write WiPs, it's just so horrible to be struggling with a story and then someone beats you over the head asking when the next update is and oh, god, the stress on that RL news is just killing me...)
Look at all my shiney new icons! Thank you Marion. Alas, they will all be gone in six months, since I will never pay for LiveJournal.

Date: 2003-08-12 02:38 pm (UTC)As for the fanfic thing, WIP are so common in HP fandom that they're the rule rather than the exception. Unless a story actually says it's complete or a one-shot, people kind of assume there's more coming. (I once had someone ask me if I'd ever written 'the rest' of "Blind Unto the Day" and I had to gently explain that what was there, was all there was.) Erm... anyway, maybe if you make sure to call them stories in a series when you refer to them?

Thank you Zorely, Ron. (Glares at Draco, who only smiles.) Actually, I do have good news.

Date: 2003-08-13 03:40 pm (UTC)In the meantime, I loved Hey You. Your Percy makes me very happy and very scared at the same time. I think he's not only surpassed the common two dimensional portrayal, he's gone beyond 3-D and into something new.
Percy is the space-time continuum, dammit!
Also very much in love with the Ron-Draco dynamic.
Sorry. I'll go now. *blushes and backs away*

Date: 2003-08-14 07:07 am (UTC)Thank you. Of course, I've immediately gone from thrilled belief to 'scared shitless.' But it's a done deal. School, here I come. Now I just have to figure out if I should work my class schedule so I can keep my job part-time... can I handle both?

Date: 2003-08-14 07:25 am (UTC)Percy made you scared? Interesting observation. How so? I always joke that Percy is my Mary Sue. He touched my heart in GoF when he rushed into the lake to help Harry with Ron, looking so scared. 'Sweet Hypocrisy' was supposed to be Snape giving ol' Percy a bit of a come-uppance, but Percy surprised me by showing unexpected depth -- a kind of idealism that's rather blind, if still well-meaning. He really caught me off-guard there.
Then I started to fall in love with him in Death Eater Rock, when he showed a little unexpected humour and was more annoyed about his chocolates than Ron and Draco wearing lingerie and make-up. Then... well, Skinny Dipping just put me over the edge.
And Ron and Draco are pretty dynamic together, aren't they? LOL.
